But --check is also producing useful output, which might need paged. So
you are sacrificing existing interactive use of --check for scriptable
exit-code uses. If you really want the exit code, why not "git diff
--check --exit-code"?

OTOH, I am not too sad to lose the paging behavior; it would take quite
a few whitespace errors to scroll off the screen.
